Reception

The film received generally negative reviews. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 36% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 14 reviews. Robert Abele wrote in the Los Angeles Times that "the basic story’s narrative and psychological simplicity ... becomes an increasing burden."[3] Stephen Holden wrote in The New York Times "After the Fall belongs to a type of movie that is too lazy to connect the dots and fill in the blanks between its supposedly teachable moments."[4] However, Stephen Dalton, writing in The Hollywood Reporter, says that film, "has much to recommend, including gorgeous New Mexico landscapes, sumptuous digital cinematography and -- as we might expect from Klein -- virtuoso editing"[5]
